Terminology


Ecocide 
the mass destruction of ecosystems
A provocative term that makes people relate to the word genocide.
Bumped into this term in TIME.com's article - "Is Ecocide a Crime?"



Clerestory window
any high windows above eye level
A great design element to bring in light deep into the building, besides having a void of course.
Thank you Louise for introducing me to Alfonso Reyes Apartment by Dellekamp Architects.


Subdivision plan
A site plan that has been approved by the authority, showing the boundary of the properties.
Seems to be the most basic drawing that every party in a developer's team refer to.
Sometimes it is called draft plan, a term that is misused by some party.
At least, that is what David told me.
